Where there is clear merit in extending the life of existing equipment in terms of both military utility and value-for-money, the opportunity to do so will be considered in the context of the wider Review. It is therefore not appropriate to anticipate decisions on the Typhoon Tranche 1, or other capabilities, that have not yet been made.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 03/11/2015 16:35:19 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
